2 7/17/2015
This school as the name said is an alternative for those kids that have some type mod difficulties.
The teachers should be aware and be trained to work in that, specially on ESOL ; whitch is the mayor gold of the school and some of the teachers not even have that.
And don't disregard the point where some of the teachers are elder or about to retire and they keep working under the old system.
